Review: Affordable? Yes! : Cheap? Absolutely not! : High Quality? Just look at how many stars I gave it! - I adore this pocket knife! I had heard a lot of good things about Opinel for some years past, and I finally decided to get one, and I am so bloody glad that I did! It's just the right size for pocket carry, it's of a size that is big enough to be useful but so large as to look aggressive or antagonistic, it's beautiful in it's simplicity, and despite the fact it's light as a feather, it does not feel cheap or flimsy! It's wood and metal, but it's lighter than some most poor quality plastic-furniture knives I've handled in the past! This company's reputation, is well deserved indeed! This can appeal to anybody who wants a pocket knife and can fit any EDC loadout, from labourer to aristocrat, and everyone in between.
Review: Great value for the price - I stumbled on the Opinel booth at the 2017 Summer Outdoor Retailor show. I was immediately impressed with the combination of cost and quality of their products. I own knives ranging from cheap (almost throw away) to very fine (one that will surely be handed down to one of my kids). I realize and appreciate there is a place and market for them all. In Opinel I found a knife intended for real everyday use. Something that give good value for the price. Well designed and manufactured enough to be highly useful and reliable, while inexpensive enough that I am not worried about if I might damage it during use or losing it. It has classic clean and simple aesthetics. After much deliberation I decided to purchase the No8 Carbon version. I chose the carbon blade as I intend to use this as a EDC (Every Day Carry) knife so did not need the corrosion resistance of stainless, but wanted something that would take and hold a really fine edge. So far I have not been disappointed. The knife arrived with no problems and was exactly what I expected. As expected the hinge was stiff, making the blade difficult to open unless I used the ‘tap the handle on the table’ method to get it started. The blade was sharp enough for use as I would expect directly from a manufacturer (but far better than I would expect for a knife in this price range). There are some faint machine marks on the blade left over from its manufacturer and some burr from sharpening. I had no trouble getting a sharp enough to shave with edge. Being an engineer and someone who can’t leave well enough alone, I decided to make some customizations. I used a blend of bees wax (used for waterproofing boots) on the hinge to get it to move smother and be less prone to swelling when damp, sanded off the finish, and added a indent in the handle near where nail groove of the handle rests to make it easier to grip. I then refinished the handle using teak oil. I carry the knife daily and use it often for various tasks. With use for things like cutting oranges, the blade is starting to take on a nice patina. A few swipes on a small stone when needed is all it takes to get the razor sharp edge back. I find the No8 size to fit my hand quite well and be very versatile for many tasks, but for me it is slightly large for a EDC. I am considering picking up a No7 or 6.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come in the original Opinel box?**
A: I believe mine was in a original box.  It was like a tube that was folded in on each end.  It was not a presentation, or gift, box.

**Q: For those of you who whittle, do you use it for softwood only, or hardwoods too? Greenwood or cured as well?**
A: I think this knife is best suited to softwood. I have used it on rough cut pine (found while hiking), which was not fully cured and found it to be somewhat dangerous. The main reason I say that is the size and flexibility of the knife.

**Q: are these knives friction folders?**
A: No they are not friction folder. Look up high no kami to see a friction folder

**Q: How would it do for stabbing? Say  a back up for dispatching a hunt, i don't need the blade closing on my fingers, and how is the blade wobble?**
A: Hi Jesse - Wendy from Tall Ridge here - Thank you for your inquiry! I can't answer to the stabbing, however, there is a proprietary locking ring which when engaged locks the blade either open or closed. I hope that helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Normal opinel, just scaled up and kinda silly
*by Z***R on December 8, 2025*

Huge and goofy as far as pocket knives go (which I love). It's like if Crocodile Dundee had an opinel instead of a bowie knife. I'm thinking it'll make a nice little chef's knife, and if not at least I have a nice knife to open small boxes and envelopes. Goofs aside, The wood handle is nice, I sanded mine down and rubbed some oil on it which makes it even nicer than the varnish on the carbon ones. They still come with nice handles regardless of finish imo. (They take pocket clips nicely) The blade finish is nice and pretty uniform across all the ones I have. Which I'd say is impressive for them being so inexpensive. I like the shape of the blade a lot, nice to see peeps do a non drop point life like the hundreds I see around. They also come pretty sharp. The locking ring is cool and super simple to use. It's easy to pop off as well if you want to mess with the knife. I have not been able to get the lock to fail with it engaged all the way so I'd say it's pretty secure. Overall I'd say this is a nice knife if you want something simple and cheap but still want nice stuff like wood handles, a good lock, and a blade that's sharper than average out of the box.
